I've decided upon the name ("poems of unravelling") and the cover (hersoftestsoul.deviantart.com/…), I have about ten new poems and ten illustrations for the book, which will probably contain about 50 poems. I'm not uploading anything new that's going to be included in the book, because I want the book to contain some new things. But I think that this is some of the best poetry that I've ever written and it's kind of hell not sharing it with you guys. If you'd be so kind as to give me feedback on some new poems, I'll note you one or two. No one is going to see all of them! Don't you go sharing behind my back!
I'm thinking about, as well as releasing the book itself, auctioning off the originals-- the pieces of paper that I drew stuff on, plus illustrations that I made that didn't make the book, little notes on the meanings of the poems and drawings, and other amazing things. I'd also write a letter and a poem for whoever buys it and it would be kitschy and intimate as fuck. so let me know if you'd be interested in buying such a thing for, like, $10 or more so that I can at least pay for your shipping. I don't expect to make any money off of this thing, but hey. it could happen.
ALSO there's the original watercolour painting that the book cover is based off of, but I am in love with that and wouldn't really part with it for less than like $50. it's big and pretty simple and you probably don't want it, but like I said, it could happen.
if you are still reading at this point, I love you. if there is anything in your gallery or someone else's that you think deserves more recognition leave a link in the comments and I will check it out.
I love you all.

my first poetry book is available for purchase!
here! : http://www.lulu.com/shop/najia-khaled/wanderers-witch-talkers/paperback/product-22613857.html
it's called wanderers, witch-talkers, and it explores themes of European and Moroccan witchcraft, folklore, superstition, and mythology through poems about love, loss, culture, mental illness, disability, and race. it contains a whole bunch of new, never-before-seen poems, plus old ones that have been reworked, expanded, pared down, rewritten, or otherwise improved.
this book has changed covers, titles, and probably its entire rotation of poems at least twice during the years I've been sitting on it, but I really do feel that it represents
an update
I got my sixth (!!!!!!) DD on bloodlines: thank you to TheMaidenInBlack (https://www.deviantart.com/themaideninblack) and also to everyone who's commented and favourited and watched and otherwise supported me, I really appreciate it! (this pushed me over 500 watchers :wow:)I'm about to enter my junior year of college and I'm on track to graduate with a degree in linguistics!I'm single again after having gotten out of an emotionally abusive relationship (if you couldn't tell from my angsty poems) and I'm feeling good about itI'm a lesbian (I used to think that I was bisexual but lmao no) and I'm also feeling good about thatmy poetry book is done except for about half of the titular
I still exist, I promise
and now that I'm done with my first year of college (!!!) I'll have time to be around more.
I haven't been uploading much because I'm hoarding all of the best poems I've been writing for publication like a greedy dragon!
but I'll get around to looking through my inbox within the next week or so, I promise.
(also, in other updates about my life-- I have a new partner of the romantic type, ahhh! we'll be spending much of the summer together so I am excite!)
